John Copnall was born in Slinfold, the son of the eminent sculptor Edward Bainbridge Copnall (1903-1970), while his mother Muriel was a keen amateur artist and his aunt and uncle, Frank and Teresa Copnall, were professional artists of some repute. Copnall showed an early interest in drawing and, at the age of eighteen, began studying at the Architectural Association in London. He dropped out of that course, however. Copnall initially began his painting studies under his father's tutelage at the Sir John Cass School of Art in the City of London and from 1949 under the direction of the artist Sir Henry Rushbury at the Royal Academy School. His early works were figurative in aesthetic, winning the Turner Gold Medal for Landscape Painting. In 1954, Copnall and his friend Bert Flugelman visited Spain for what was intended to be a short visit, but he fell in love with the Iberian landscape and stayed for fourteen years. He first lived in Ibiza and later moved to the mountains of Malaga, where he made a living as a painter, sometimes using the name Juan de Retamá. The intense light of Spain and the visceral nature of its people fundamentally changed his art, as he experimented with intense earth colours while moving increasingly towards abstraction. Throughout his career, Copnall became interested in the use of intense colours and Spanish light which undoubtedly heightened his artistic senses. As the 1960s progressed, Copnall's painting became fashionable and he began to sell his paintings to private collectors, including Melvyn Douglas. He had several solo exhibitions in Spain and Catalonia, as well as shows in Germany, where he was also popular. In 1968 Copnall returned to England and the following year held a solo exhibition at the Bear Lane Gallery in Oxford. His work was clearly influenced by that of American Abstract Expressionists such as Barnett Newman, Morris Louis and Mark Rothko with Copnall using acrylic paint on increasingly large canvases. In 1970 he won the EA Abbey Scholarship and further recognition followed with Art Council Awards in 1973 and a British Council Award in 1979.
